(Göppel Bus GmbH)

Due to the advantages of the vehicle concept a wide range of applications in different fields of public transport is possible. The AutoTram is a cost-efficient alternative to conventional transport systems if a high capacity, low environmental impact and above average flexibility are required.

Supplement to conventional buses

  • Lower environmental impact
  • Higher transport capacity
  • Low track width requirements
  • Higher flexibility

Alternative to trolley buses

  • Comparable environmental standards
  • Lower infrastructure costs
  • Higher transport capacity
  • More suitable for deviations

Alternative to light rail concepts

  • Comparable environmental standards and transport capacity
  • Significantly lower infrastructure costs
  • Distinctly lower life cycle costs

Supplement to bus rapid transit systems

  • Efficient public transport system
  • High manoeuvrability
  • Cost-efficient, flexible and environment-friendly
